This raspberry bourbon smash is a fizzy, fruity cocktail with a touch of elegance. The mix of bourbon, Chambord and fresh raspberries makes it both bold and balanced. It’s easy to make and even easier to sip.
Place 4 raspberries and 1 or 2 mint leaves torn into pieces in the bottom of the glass. Add a dash of bitters.
Pour in the grenadine.
Using a muddler, mix and mash the ingredients in the glass carefully.
Add ice.
Now add the Chambord. And then the bourbon.
Mix well and then top with sparkling water.
Garnish with a raspberry and sprig of mint.
Notes
Use crushed ice: Helps chill the drink faster and creates great texture. Muddle gently: Don’t over-mash the mint or it may turn bitter. Chill your glass: For an extra refreshing finish.
